Creating Toys
Over Term 2 Tumeke 12 learnt all about the Design Process through exploring toys. We had been finding out lots about Haiti and what it was like there for kids.
So we used that as the 'problem' for our design process and we made toys for the kids of Haiti that they could make easily from bits of rubbish and things around the house.
In this video you can see some of the things we used to make our toys with. We collected all these things from our house and saved them from the rubbish bins! After this you will then see our finished toys. They are pretty amazing!

Tumeke 12's Teamwork Butterflies
I am so very proud of Tumeke 12 this week - they have created the most amazing butterflies as part of their Topic and Visual Arts in the last week! Tumeke 12 had to work as a team to collaborate and create their butterflies. They showed persistence, teamwork, respect, encouragement and thinking in creating their masterpieces.
Here is a slideshow showing the process that Tumeke 12 went through to create their butterflies. Soon we will have pictures up so you can see the completed work!
Tino pai Tumeke 12!

Room 12's Monarch Butterfly
We have been very lucky to have been able to watch caterpillars and Monarch Butterfly's around our classroom as Hollie's Mum brought us a swan plant. We had some big caterpillars that we thought would turn into a chrysalis. But we came back after the weekend and they had disappeared! We were very disappointed.
But on Monday Miss S. brought the swan plant inside the classroom. When we moved the pot we discovered a chrysalis hanging on the side of our pot! We were VERY excited to see it there. We watched and waited for it to hatch... and it did on Wednesday! Here is a movie of our butterfly trying out her new long legs and wings.
